| 8 | Marketed to be a grand political journalist ConspiracyThriller and a monument to all the theories that have arisen around the catastrophe.

| 14 | * CharacterDevelopment: Nina turns from a cold, cynical workaholic into a more likeable character. [[spoiler: She also begins to believe in TheConspiracy.]] |
| 15 | * CureYourGays: [[spoiler: Apparently believing in TheConspiracy is also capable of making people straight]]. |
| 16 | * CaptainErsatz: [=TVMSat=] is obviously Capitan Ersatz version of TVN and Polsat, especially the first. |
| 17 | %%* IntrepidReporter: Beata Fido's character was intended to be this. |
| 18 | * StrawmanNewsMedia: The TV corporation Nina works at. They don't care about people's feelings, they only broadcast the tragedy because it boosts their ratings. |
